That news about the whole of Tamriel being in the game is pretty cool, but I doubt they're literally going to give us all of it. Sure it would be unbelievably awesome to the point of being the single greatest thing of all time, but it would also end the series and make every other instalment redundant. TES is Bethesda's biggest money maker at the moment and Tamriel is still partially unexplored, I doubt they would throw away 3-4 potential games just to make this one better.

A Morrowind or a Hammerfell/High Rock expansion seems quite likely, to me anyway, but you shouldn't get your hopes up.

Although that been said there are other continents on Nirn, and most fans already know what to expect from most of Tamriel. If they did do this it would mean a completely new, unexplored continent and a fresh slate for the series in the next game. That would kick ass.

I originally dismissed Morrowind mainly for the combat system. I am willing to give it a second chance at a later point providing I can settle with how combat works in Morrowind.

That turned me off at first too. Thankfully there's a mod that changes the combat to more of an Oblivion style so you wont miss 9 out of 10 swings when you're a low level. The game is almost unplayable to me without it.

It doesn't literally mean 50 pockets though, each individual item counts as picking a pocket, so you can get 50 really fast. Took me literally 5 minutes of running around Whiterun to get 50, and I had a really low pickpocket skill at the time too.

Ah, that sounds much better. I never really play as stealthy characters on any games, which would explain why I still haven't picked a picket.

Also, how much junk do you guys hoard in game? If I open one of the chests in my house there must be well over 100 items that I know I'm never going to use and cant be arsed to sell because of all the trips to and from stores that would be required. Worst thing is, I still keep adding more useless shit to it!

Other way around for me. I hardly ever pick locks. Spent around 3 hours Sunday night just picking the pockets of everyone in Whiterun so i'm sure i've already got over 50.

I've got a chest for my useless crap i'll never need, a chest for useless crap i've stolen and a chest for all my smithing items which i'll probably never get around to using.

I used to hoard a ridiculous amount of stuff with the intent of selling it later(I was working towards the 100,000 gold achievement), but it just kept piling up. Now that I have more gold than I'll ever need and armor/weapons that make me pretty much invincible I don't bother taking my time to loot each dungeon any more, I just go rambo to get the quest over with. You get rich and strong way too fast in this game.

Does anyone know if there is a way to change your character's appearance after the beginning (for PS3)? I don't see a reason why you shouldn't be able to change at least hair and warpaint.

The Dark Brotherhood quest when you're the chef was amazing, probably the highlight of the game for me so far. It was fun telling the woman what to add to the pot, I ended up with soup including a giant's toe and a gold septim. Also the twist really surprised me!

There are still entire other continents to be explored. Tamriel isn't the entire planet.

Also, my invincible, strong as fuck, walking store of a wife:
Gonna be pretty useful exploring caves and being able to instantly sell all the loot I find. Plus she gives me free money.

I don't know if anyone else has experienced this but my roommate became a vampire for his second character and while he was a vamp his silver sword did more than 30 damage but after becoming a werewolf it was down to 10. I'm not sure if this was just some random glitch that corrected itself or if vampirism increases the damage you can do with a silver weapon, does anyone else know?

Looks Ebony to me. Daedric was more chaotic and demonic looking in Oblivion, not just dark colored, and I don't even know if there's going to be freely equippable Daedric in Skyrim. I don't really know, because I haven't picked up my preorder yet, due to lack of available funds.
I do hope there's special armor like the Madness and Amber in Shivering Isles.

Arabs don't wear cornrows and tend to have narrower noses than what the redguard have.

Plus, redguard have adrenaline rush, which in morrowind and oblivion equated to slave feet.

Most of the Redguards you see in Skyrim are from Alik'r which is a huge desert in Hammerfell. Redguards from the cities of Hammerfell are the black people of Tamriel, Redguards from Alik'r are the Arabs.

Er, correction. Alik'r Redguards are still the black people we've seen in the previous TES games, but they're Arabian themed, as opposed to the rest of Hammerfell, where the Redguards are culturally closer to their roots in Yokuda.

They're all black folk. So lets stop splitting hairs.

I find it funny that that made black people a separate race. But in the world and lore of Elder Scrolls it makes sense. I mean, they have two different white people races as well.
